Holding off statins challenge 🙄
Hi...happy new year🥰 My annual check showed my nhs cholesterol level at 13 whatever that means but should be under 10 so I said I will seriously try to lower this myself as
statins
buggered my leg muscles up.

How long
I am on the usual bisoporol,
statins
, aspirin ticelgror and rampiril. Had to stop monomil as well (GP advised) and GKNN spray as I reacted so violently. GKN spray had me back in a and e as I passed out. Any helpful comments?

Bad reaction to Atorvastatin
I am not even that convinced about
statins
. A lot of conflicting results keep coming out about the benefits, especially dubious for over 70 s. Just wanted anybody who is undergoing a similar experience that things will probably end up ok for you.

Saturated Fat
Statins
... not so much. I honestly don't know how this sort of thing happens. But I fervently wish that it didn't.

Statins???
My rheumatologist has written to me GP suggesting I take
statins
giving no reason for this. Blood pressure is normal never had a problem with it. Colesteral is fine. I'm reluctant to start taking any more meds but GP is pushing me. Any thoughts would be welcome June

Cholesterol / LDL issues.
She cannot take
statins
, because they crank the pain threshold considerably. She also suffers from cool/cold temperatures that a person without the disease could easily tolerate. Any thoughts out there that may help? Thanks.

Prescribing cascade
The
statins
were responsible for the muscular aches and pains. Their treatment with anti-inflammatories can raise the blood pressure, hence the prescribing of the antihypertensive thiazide diuretic.

Unexpected heart attack Sunday
I did have high cholesterol before, but my doctor said my lifestyle didn’t indicate
statins
. Now of course, I’m beating myself up with a load of “If I’d only... “and “why didn’t I?” thoughts. I’ve joined this forum to get real advice from people who’ve been thru similar.

Blood Test Results - What should I think?
Here they are: Triglycerides @ 3.01 LDL @ 1.1 HDL @ 0.75 Serum Cholesterol @ 3.3 I am wondering if I really need to be on 80mg of
statins
? Can I have roast turkey with all the trimmings or am I looking at a chili non-carne (which is pretty good) for X-Mas lunch! All feedback welcome.
